Yes, there are a lot of political opportunists ('sluts') in party politics, and quite a few on this board, particularly Tate, who has only ever engaged in 'discussion' with me on political-related matters purely in order to hurl hysterical verbal abuse in my direction, with no attempt to address...

In Europe, the ECB has its own distinct headache. Inflation is 3.1 per cent, the highest since monetary union. This is already enough to set off a political storm in Germany. A Dresdner poll found that 71 per cent of German women want the Deutschmark restored. With Brünhilde fuming about Brot...

Another excellent analysis, much less optimistic (and which also helps explain why the Japanese, with over a trillion in dollar reserves, much more than China at the time, collapsed at the end of the 1980s), of the current financial crisis (whatever would finance capitalism do without a...

A thumbnail summary of Vimothy and his supporters. [Now was there something of substance you actually were struggling to say about Hillary Clinton's policies, other than your thinly-veiled support - via the slandering of her critics - for them?]. Or are you just stoned?

It is tate, mos dan, ripley and now yourself who are being smugly self-righteous. Have you even bothered to read the earlier posts on this thread, as earlier suggested? Your and the others self-righteousness is not only mind-bogglingly blinkered but extremely revealing of your classist...

I'm sorry to have to inform you, but anyone who systematically defends those who engage in and promote mass murder is accurately so described. Perhaps you've a 'better' suggestion for the proper use of such a term ... Shouldn't you now be eagerly inviting Vimothy back so he can continue his...

I would suggest to the mods who are still bothering to mod that this thread should now be closed, as I don't see the benefit to anyone in permitting this apologist for a mass murderer, through the pomo/pc guise of 'sexism' (just as zionists deflect from any criticism of their murder and...

Ripley, your response here, quite shockingly, provides further confirmation of how scumbag 'Tate' has now successfully displaced discussion here about political slut Clinton's status as an obvious war criminal (she is on record as AUTHORISING the illegal invasion of Iraq, a clear war crime) onto...

... but not a doctored, Orientalist-serving one. The book, IIRC, was a best-seller. One of my Aunts, a nurse-turned-Catholic nun, after spending 40 years doing 'missionary work' in Africa (25 years in Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe, and a further 15 years in South Africa), retired home a...

Good points, Nomad. The difficulty here is that we're not really talking about personalised semantics, but the stated policies and practices of a particular politician, a politician who has actively allowed herself to be appropriated by the patriarchal hegemony of US capitalism. Her policies are...

Perhaps other examples of paradoxical image juxtapositions are called for, particularly those that reveal some ominous, disturbing truths about relations between East and West that the latter prefers to actively suppress? Another notorious recent case in contrapuntal image hermaneutics is this...

It is you who urgently needs one, judging both from your previous post above and from your need for an 'interesting experience', below ... Engaging in political discussion, gaining some insight into actual political issues is oh-so boring and time-consuming! Better to have an 'interesting...

It is extremely valuable, and entirely fitting as a description of Clinton's relation to politics. What is harmful is the attempt of those who sanctimoniously nit-pick the term to deflect attention away from the subject under discussion: the odious and anti-feminist policies of Clinton. Now...

Timely, as an ex-prime minister and wanted war criminal converts from one form of Christianity to another (he must be really envious of the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history of mass slaughter and systematic abuse): 1. Soldiers at Fort Jackson Army Base pose with their rifles and Bibles...

Yes, the term was used generically and in a specific context, but tate - revealed by his obsessive 'objectivist' pedantry - has a right-wing agenda here, pretending not to have any political views on anything while clearly exposing himself as an apologist for Clinton's disturbing policies...

No, a post that exposes you as a shallow, vacuous wanker. If Clinton ACTUALLY positioned feminist concerns (something you know nothing about and have no interest in) as central to her policy formulation, she would not even have been nominated. Instead, she has ruthlessly betrayed such concerns...

I was wrong to merely call her a slut: such a term is too endearing. She's much worse, and god help the planet when she pursues her policies if or when she's 'elected.' BTW, Thatcher was also a SLUT, and you're a pedantic one ... (in your amoral, de-politicized classically 'pure' world, calling...

Yes, and their being on the same unrepresentable plane also scrambles the inside/outside dichotomy: once we have entered into the differential system of language, into the Symbolic Order, it forever afterwards determines our perception of the world 'around' us and 'within' us, so that the...

Indeed. And it gets worse: not only is our narcissistic 'self', our identity - or our 'inner essence' - a linguistic-ideological formation (ie it is not even 'ours', it is other, originates elsewhere), but so are 'real-world ontological facts' (just a more sophisticated - because empirical -...
